Received required entitlements from apple and as per the below link ios should allow us make third party app as default contactless app in EEA region.

But, Settings app only shows the toggle button to enable/disable Contactless capability. But, not an option to make an app as default contactless app.

com.apple.developer.nfc.hce.default-contactless-app | Apple Developer Documentation

Anyone has faced similar issue? Is above feature released or not, how can we confirm ?

Once you have successfully built and installed your app, properly configured with the necessary entitlements, you should be seeing the option to make that app the default app in Settings->General->Contactless & NFC

For this setting option to show up (or for any any of the EEA based features to work)

Your app must be correctly configured and built with the correct entitlements and the necessary APIs
Your testing device must physically be located in the EEA and is a supported type (iPhone only).
The signed-in Apple ID on the device must be registered in an EEA country or region.

I have the iOS setting menu of default apps (in iOS 18.2 beta) where I can choose eg the default browser etc but not the default contactless app. I suspect because it don't have any app with entitlement com.apple.developer.nfc.hce or com.apple.developer.secure-element-credential.

Are there any apps (available in app store) that have such entitlement / that i can make default contactless app?
